Hey Geek. I love this site. It's given me so many useful little tips and tricks. But anyways, i had a question for you. I recently received a new laptop with Vista Business on it, and during the setup process, I accidently mistyped my name. I typed 'Tyler Le' instead of 'Tyler Lee'. Now i figured out how to change the display name in User Accounts, but the Documents folder is still labeled 'Tyler Le'. Several programs such as Hearts or the Command Prompt use the old 'Tyler Le' in the display. Is there an easy way to fix this and keep all my files and settings? Thank you much!

Ok, the first post there is the one that applies to me. If i were to enact option A listed there, would i be ok to get on a safe account, then go through the registry, changing EVERY instance of 'Tyler Le' to 'Tyler Lee'. I just want to make absolutely sure that will solve my problem before i even think about trying it.

Unfortunately, This it one of harder things to fully explain how to do safely and I don't have enough time at the moment to do so.
I'll see if I can write up detailed instructions tomorrow.

A short less complete list of steps to rename the account folder and main registry entry pointing to it that should work:
1. You follow the instructions on http://windowsxp.mvps.org/userpath.htm only replace where it says "Documents and Settings to "Users" for use on Vista.
2. To fix programs that stored a copy of the address you need to replace every registry entry of "\Users\Tyler Le" to "\Users\Tyler Lee". You can use programs like COA32 to do that.

Actually I think it was for Windows 95/NT 3.51 (Or at least my copy is) though I think it should still work on Vista. I'm not 100% sure though.
There is also a step I didn't list where you could add a symlink for other applications using the old path that don't use the registry.
Unfortunately at the moment I can't remember exactly what I did when I changed a user name and folder last and if I used COA32 or not.
All I can say for sure is that changing the user folder name in Windows is way harder then it should be.
